Diggers Song (Stand Up Now)

You noble diggers all, stand up now, stand up now 
You noble diggers all, stand up now
The waste land to maintain, seeing Cavaliers by name 
Your digging does disdain, and persons all defame 
Stand up now, diggers all
 
Your houses they pull down, stand up now, stand up now 
Your houses they pull down, stand up now
Your houses they pull down to fright poor men in town
But the gentry must come down and the poor shall wear the crown 
Stand up now, diggers all
 
With spades and hoes and ploughs, stand up now, stand up now 
With spades and hoes and ploughs, stand up now
Your freedom to uphold, seeing Cavaliers are bold 
To kill you if they could, and rights from you to hold 
Stand up now, diggers all
  
The lawyers they conjoin, stand up now, stand up now 
The lawyers they conjoin, stand up now
To arrest you they advise, such fury they devise
The Devil in them lies and hath blinded both their eyes 
Stand up now, diggers all
 
To conquer them by love, come in now, come in now 
To conquer them by love, come in now
To conquer them by love, as it does you behove 
For he is King Above, no power is like to love 
Glory here, diggers all
